Dealmaster: Get an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet for $60

Plus deals on the Echo Dot and Google Home Mini, PC components, and more.

Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is led by an array of discounts on various Amazon devices, including the company's Fire HD 8 tablet, which is down to $60 from its usual $80.

While this isn't the absolute cheapest the Fire HD 8 has been, it's still a good price for a tablet that does the basics well. To be clear, this is not an iPad: it's made of plastic, it's not super fast, and the display can't get super bright. You also have to deal with ads on your lock screen at this price. But for those who just want a slate for checking emails, occasionally browsing the Web, or streaming Netflix, the Fire HD 8 holds up well. You could even buy a stand and use it as a pseudo-Echo Show. It's a decent option for a tablet-hungry kid, and Amazon's Fire OS is at least competent if you stick to media consumption.

If you have no need for a tablet, we also have deals on Echo Dot and Google Home Mini speakers, Dell laptops, wireless chargers, and more. Have a look for yourself below.
